Esther Ottens Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

When this book was written, it chronicled one death among many in the war in Eastern Ukraine. Following the events of February 24, 2022, it evolved into a narrative of a nation under severe attack. Olesya Khromeychuk recounts the story of her brother Volodymyr Pavliv, killed on the front line in 2017, from the perspective of a civilian woman, highlighting often-overlooked viewpoints in war narratives. Through a blend of personal memoir and essay, Khromeychuk connects readers to the brutal realities of war in Europe and the intimate experience of loss. This updated edition includes new chapters and a Foreword by Philippe Sands, reflecting on the broader impact of the conflict. The book resonates with anyone grappling with grief and the sudden loss of a loved one. Praise for the first edition emphasizes its emotional depth and ability to transcend individual experiences of grief, uniting readers with the collective sorrow of Ukrainians. Critics commend Khromeychuk for her intelligent exploration of complex themes, blending emotional honesty with rigorous analysis. Her vivid prose and unflinching honesty illuminate the silence surrounding the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine, making her brother's story both poignant and unforgettable.

The Pants first came to us at the perfect moment. That is, when we were splitting up for the first time. It was two summers ago when they first worked their magic, and last summer when they shook up our lives once again. You see, we don’t wear the Pants year-round. We let them rest so they are extra powerful when summer comes. (There was the time this spring when Carmen wore them to her mom’s wedding, but that was a special case.) Now we’re facing our last summer together. In September we go to college. And it’s not like one of those TV shows where all of us magically turn up at the same college. We’re going to four different colleges in four different cities (but all within four hours of one another—that was our one rule). We’re headed off to start our real lives. Tomorrow night at Gilda’s we’ll launch the Pants on their third summer voyage. Tomorrow begins the time of our lives. It’s when we’ll need our Pants the most.
